Trophy Boxer Rebellion (3 Viewers)

[PolarBear]

I am looking for pictures of the Boxer Rebellion sets issued by Trophy of Wales. The Trophy of Texas site lists the sets but with no pictures. Perhaps one of our members has these sets and would be willing to post pictures of them.

Thanks,

Randy

Hi Randy

These are all the pictures I have, unfortunately I don't have any sets.

Hope they help?

Thank you Martyn. These do help. These sets seem fairly obscure compared to their other lines. Will you be adding K&C Chinese sets to go with your new USN figures?

Glad to be of help.

Ref the USN figures, I am very tempted after seeing the impressive dioramas you have posted. I would love a U.S.S. San Pueblo if one becomes available to buy.

Martyn,
You devil! You've been holding out on us! What I have just seen is a TROPHY CATALOG! (first time ever) in your possession!
could you post photo of any Zulu pages? I'll be your faithful batboy forever

I'm guessing $1500-2000 for a gunboat from K&C. I wish they would make some ship deck portions that would be affordable for more collectors. The K&C USN flyer says of the gunboat: "It is our intention to produce a limited number of replicas for dedicated collectors in the near future."


Here's a scale model of the USS Panay and a Chinese Junk I found online. I hope they do a junk and some sampans with crews too.

Hi Mike

I’m sorry to disappoint but I only have certain pages of the early 1990’s Trophy catalogue available and none of them are Zulu related, all the AZW pages have vanished.

These are the ones I do have some pages for:

BOXER REBELLION
KABUL TO KHANDAHAR – SECOND AFGAN WAR 1878 1880
THE BROKEN SQUARE AT TAMAI
THE BOER WAR
EGYPT AND THE SUDAN
BATTLE OF TEL EL KEBIR
THE DEVIL’S WIND - THE INDIAN MUTINY
THE NILE PADDLE STEAMER

These are the only other pages, with pictures, that I can find.

I do have a Trophy catalogue from January 1998 but this does not include any of the above sets.

Cheers

That sounds like a fair estimate on price, I believe the Trophy boats retailed around £1200 ($1800) to £1500 ($2260)

Martyn,
That is definitely a start! I have never seen any printed matter from Trophy and this is a treat. I did notice the dealer address in the US as Jim Hillstead at the Toy Soldier Museum. He is about 45 minutes away from my house and I have not got around to going yet, though he's invited me. I should check with him. Maybe he has some printed material to copy.
Always,
Mike

And he might, just might, still have some AZW sets in stock.

Get in touch with him ASAP.

Best of luck

Hi Joe

$2750, still I wonder what the $/£ exchange rate was in 2002.

Back in the Summer last year it would have cost £1375 now £1810

Now to convince my better half that it would be a good investment, if I could find one for sale that is

Cheers

Martyn

MKL has a USS Eagle at about 1000 GBP.

I wish to thank Damian, the Lt, and Martyn for responding to my request.
Damian and the Lt. sent me photos of the sets and I will be happy to post them here if there is interest. I wish they were still available at normal prices.

Randy,
There is much interest on our part to document the goodies from Trophy for posterity , as well as for reference. And I for one would love to see what your talent does with them!

These are the photos Damian downloaded from Trophy of Texas before they took them off.
